Add authorize.net emulator for online payments

My organization currently uses an authorize.net emulator for online credit card payments. With this we only pay small incremental charges per transaction. If we have to use any of the currently available (in WA) online payment systems our expenses will go up quite a bit (well over $1000 just for membership dues). Please add the authorize.net emulator. We could handle our renewals much more efficiently and at a reasonable expense.

I have to agree with Jim Rising. The "implementation" is giving the user access to the secure URL address to redirect the payment information to a different gateway. In point of fact, we are trying to use NMI and would be able to with the Auth.Net setup if we could change the URL.

This is another request for support of authorize.net emulation. There are several popular gateways that use this ... NMI, USAePay, InstantMerchant ... are three examples. It is literally a matter of giving developers the ability to populate the gateway URL.

@Walt: Authorize.Net emulator is some other payment processor that uses Authorize.Net API to work with. So we have "genuine" Authorize implemented, but as Evgeny has noted earlier we are not going to support any other payment systems using Auth.Net API soon.

Main reason for this is that implementing such emulators is actually the same amount of work as working with other payment processor using native API.

So if you want some specific payment system implemented - please create a corresponding idea for it.

I got a response from our developer (expert in this area). He basically says, that from his point of view this is a low priority request comparing to other payment processors we have in implementation queue.

I understand that changes are frequently more complicated than we users comprehend but I was told by someone on the authorize.net emulator side of the process that all that needed to be changed was the website that was pointed to. If we could use this for our renewals and new member applications it would make life much easier for us. To add a new online payment service for this function would be cost prohibitive. Please reconsider. Thanks.
